Minty Nails

So I had a hand/foot spa at Nail Tropics Greenbelt 2 Saturdays ago. It was wonderful to say the least. I also had an extended back massage as my scolio is acting up pretty bad these days. There are only 3 people there that I trust – Rosel, Melai and Carol. These ladies are wonderful. They are very professional, polite and nice. Sometimes funny even. It’s nice to chat with them while I’m having a treatment. I’ve been observing the others and I’m convinced that I have the best 3. One time, one of my best friends and I got a pedi. The nail artisan that she got was very lousy. She was on fast forward mode. Both M and I thought that she did a bad job. Sure she did the job but not at the level and quality that we were hoping to get. This nail artisan even got annoyed that my friend fell asleep for a while. That’s supposed to be the whole point! She needed to relax and nap a little. She woke up when the treatment was done but she still couldn’t leave as the polish was still wet and my pedi was not done yet. So why was the artisan making faces? Haayy..

I’ve been meaning to share this nail polish color but I just keep forgetting to take a photo. I was only able to remember when I saw that the  nail polish was already chipping off!

Apologies for the not so perfect nails

I soooo love this color! It makes me feel relaxed and when my eyes are tired, I just stare at my nails. They say that looking at blues and greens helps tired eyes relax.

    Great color!! I will definitely consider buying that! I have a ton of doubles in my nail polish collection and I'm thinking of having a blog sale of the TFS nail polishes that I have duplicates of. :))

Alone Time

My good friend Kitten and I were supposed to go out yesterday but she had some unexpected things come up. I needed to buy some stuff as I am packing for a trip and so I went alone. I actually enjoy going out alone as much as going out with girlfriends or MB. It gives me a chance to eat whatever I like to eat and explore new restos. It’s also nice to take my time when shopping. After paying my bills, I had a late lunch at Toast Box: I love Hainanese Chicken. I sometimes cook this dish but it’s too tedious so I settle for eating out. I’m so happy that there are now restaurants that serve proper Hainanese Chicken. Well, except that one above was sooooo bloody. It was swimming in blood when I pulled the meat apart so I had it changed. You know what Gordon Ramsay says, bloody chicken is poisonous. This is the second time I ate at Toast Box and in both times, the chicken was so bloody. After lunch, I started shopping. First stop was Beabi where I bought these: The Sakura thermos on...

Soft Luxe Travels: Day 1 - The Journey to Vigan Part 1

In this post, we will start our journey to Vigan! The Night Before After packing our things, I did a few things for myself to help me relax and decompress so that I can sleep. I'm a night owl and not used to waking up early nor sleeping early, so I have to be strategic.  I painted my nails that night after all my chores, so that the nail polish wouldn't chip.  However, I forgot that I needed to make pressed sandwiches for our breakfast the following day!  Because really, what’s a road trip mom without freshly painted nails and a last-minute kitchen hustle? 😂 So, I had to do a lot of washing and hoped for the best that my nail polish will not chip! Luncheon meat, eggs, Kewpie Trust me, it tastes better than it sounds at 11 PM while trying not to chip your polish. That night, we also tried the Ube Halaya from Amira's. This was from our trip to Tagaytay . I'll try to make a review of this on my food blog . With everything prepped, I finally let myself drift off—half excit...

Holiday State of Mind

  Sometimes, a quick escape is all it takes to reset the spirit. Tagaytay always gives me that holiday state of mind… Even a short drive can feel like a retreat when your heart is ready to embrace rest. My son successfully finished his recital last Sunday and as a reward, my sister treated us to Tagaytay yesterday.  Getting Ready for the Trip I decided to use my BYS Golden Hour Palette for today's look. Makeup, for me, is part of the ritual—it sets the tone that today is special. Here are the swatches: From top to bottom: Polaroid, Candid, Aperture, In Focus, Portrait, Panoramic In Focus is slightly wet, like something between a liquid and cream eyeshadow. The color is gorgeous! I love Panoramic, too! Polaroid is a bit chalky and not as pigmented as the shadows in the Queen Bee Palette.  Here are the face shades: Highlighter: Illumination Contour: Ambiance I haven't tried Illumination yet, only Ambiance. I used it on top of my BYS Bronzer. It's a buildable powder, a littl...
